Just about every season long fantasy league uses the snake draft format and the DraftStreet setup is exactly like a season long league draft, except that the draft only covers the games for ONE night of NBA Action. Once that day’s action is complete, you can snake draft a team for tomorrow’s NBA Action. No worry about injuries killing your season, just draft a new team tomorrow.

Draft Rules

When you enter a DraftStreet Live Snake Draft Game, the league will set to draft 5 minutes after the league is full. The draft order is determined by random drawing and each team has 45 seconds to make their pick. The draft consists of drafting 2 Guards, 2 Forwards, 1 Center and 3 FLEX players. You will also have to draft 2 Bench players that you can substitute into your roster at any time up until tipoff. This is a great safety net just in case one of your starting players comes up with a pre-game injury. The game has a queue feature that lets you pre-rank your players and you can also autodraft if for some reason you can’t stay for the entire draft.

If you are a fan of live drafts and the strategy that comes with them, the DraftStreet Live Snake Draft Gameis definitely going to be your favorite contest choice. There are free snake draft games where you can practice your drafting strategy and get a feel for the draft software before you commit any real money.
